Gerard Depardieu is accused of carrying out sex assaults on two film set production workers including one who claims she was ‘brutally attacked’ ‘in latest complaints made against French movie star

French film star Gerard Depardieu was today accused of committing a series of sexual attacks while playing a legendary stage actor who continues to seduce women.

The 75-year-old, who is already under investigation for several similar crimes including rape, is alleged to have attacked two production workers on the set of Les Volets Verts – The Green Shutters.

The film, based on a story by George Simenon, is about a “holy monster” theater star who risks a heart attack while drinking too much and pursuing possible sexual conquests.

Depardieu, who has been regularly referred to as a “holy monster” in real life, allegedly attacked a complainant identified only as Amelie, 53.

Depardieu – who made his name in hit films such as Green Card and The Last Metro – in turn strongly denies all accusations against him.

In October 2023, he published an open letter in the French newspaper Le Figaro defending himself. “Never, never have I abused a woman,” he wrote

Amelie’s attorney, Carine Durrieu-Diebolt, confirmed Monday that evidence pointed to “sexual assault, intimidation and abuse.”

Speaking to Mediapart, the Paris investigative news site, Amelie said Depardieu “brutally attacked” me on September 10, 2021, before a bodyguard showed up.

According to Mediapart, another woman, 33 years old, accused Depardieu of touching “her breasts and buttocks” twice on the same set in August 2021.

Ms Durrieu-Diebolt also represents Charlotte Arnould, 28, who claims she was raped by Depardieu.

There is CCTV footage of Depardieu performing a sex act with Ms Arnould at his Paris country home in August 2018, but he insists it was consensual.

Ms Arnould waived her legal right to anonymity at the end of 2021, after Depardieu was accused of rape and sexual assault.

Within days of his indictment, Depardieu was back working on the River Seine, the location of the police drama Maigret And The Dead Girl – also by Georges Simenon – in which he co-starred with Jade Labeste.

In October, he broke his silence on claims that he is a serial sexual abuser, saying: “I am neither a rapist nor a predator.”

He accused enemies of subjecting him to a media “lynching” and expressed his anger in an open letter to the French press.

Last year, a criminal investigation was opened into the suspected suicide of a French actress who had accused Depardieu of sexual violence.

It was feared that the last hours of 60-year-old Emmanuelle Debever may have been linked to the many abuse allegations women had made against Depardieu.

She died on December 7 – the very day a new documentary entitled Gérard Depardieu: The Fall of the Ogre was broadcast across France.

One complainant said Depardieu treated her like ‘a piece of meat’ as he ‘attacked’ her

It contained disturbing details of an alleged attack by Depardieu on Ms Debever when she was a teenager.

In December, another French actress filed a formal sexual abuse complaint against Depardieu, saying he treated her like “a piece of meat.”

Paris prosecutors confirmed that Hélène Darras, 43, had filed a complaint against Depardieu in September.

The pair appeared together in the 2007 film Disco, when Darras was 26, and were allegedly attacked.

Ms Darras waived her legal right to anonymity and said in the same documentary series on the Further Inquiry (Complément d’enquete): ‘He (Depardieu) is unruly.

‘He looks at me like I’m a piece of meat. I have a super tight dress, he pulls me closer to him by the waist, and then he runs his hand over my hips, over my buttocks.’

The 75-year-old is regularly referred to as a ‘holy monster’ in real life, just like his character

And in December 2023, Spanish journalist and writer Ruth Baza filed a complaint in Spain against the actor for rape, for actions dating back to 1995 in Paris.

The same month, French President Emmanuel Macron sparked anger by defending Mr Depardieu.

Macron appeared on a TV chat show and said he despised the actor being subjected to a “manhunt.”
